Hey guys, built a new PC about 2 weeks ago I am now ready to overclock my CPU. So I went into the BIOS and navigated to the overclocking settings, but I can't seem to change the mulitplier? (as in it doesn't give any options when I click on it or press enter) Somebody please help.

There should be something asking how to handle the frequencies, make sure it's manual. Not sure what it's called on intel :/

Hold Shift and press + to raise the multiplier when you hover over it.

Or just mouse-over and type a number..

 

The VRM's have very little cooling, don't expect a 1.35V+ OC to work. Just sayin.
